Depeche Mode -
Violator (2006 - Synth pop)
[Flac 24-88 SACD 5.1]
Violator Review by Ned Raggett
In a word, stunning. Perhaps an odd word to use given that Violator continued in the general vein
of the previous two studio efforts by Depeche Mode: Martin Gore's upfront lyrical emotional
extremism and knack for a catchy hook filtered through Alan Wilder's ear for perfect arrangements,
ably assisted by top English producer Flood.
Yet the idea that this record would both dominate worldwide charts, while song for song being
simply the best, most consistent effort yet from the band could only have been the wildest fantasy
before its release.
The opening two singles from the album, however, signaled something was up. First was "Personal Jesus,"
at once perversely simplistic, with a stiff, arcane funk/hip-hop beat and basic blues guitar chords,
and tremendous, thanks to sharp production touches and David Gahan's echoed, snaky vocals.
Then "Enjoy the Silence," a nothing-else-remains-but-us ballad pumped up into a huge, dramatic
romance/dance number, commanding in its mock orchestral/choir scope. Follow-up single "Policy of Truth"
did just fine as well, a low-key Motown funk number for the modern day with a sharp love/hate lyric to
boot.
To top it all off, the album itself scored on song after song, from the shuffling beat of "Sweetest
Perfection" (well sung by Gore) and the ethereal "Waiting for the Night" to the guilt-ridden-and-loving-it
"Halo" building into a string-swept pounder.
"Clean" wraps up Violator on an eerie note, all ominous bass notes and odd atmospherics carrying the song.
Goth without ever being stupidly hammy, synth without sounding like the clinical stereotype of synth music,
rock without ever sounding like a "rock" band, Depeche here reach astounding heights indeed.
